Hello Product Hunt! Alex here, COO of Nas.io We’re so excited to be introducing Nas.io for WhatsApp to the PH Community. We’ve been on a 2 year journey supporting creators to help them build online communities. After speaking to thousands of creators, it became crystal clear to us that WhatsApp is one of the best platform to build a community today. However we kept coming back to the same problems: 1. It's hard to show potential new members the value of what happens inside a WA group 2. Managing members/ collecting data beyond a phone number is manual and challenging 3. Making a WhatsApp group paid only is near impossible to automate 4. Insights around members and their engagement in the WA group is close to zero So we asked ourselves, is there a way we can make the experience of managing and monetise a WhatsApp groups a little bit easier? Enter... Nas.io for WhatsApp - our solution to build, grow and monetise your WhatsApp community (http://nas.io/whatsapp) With Nas.io for WhatsApp we have provided solutions to all 4 of the most common problems: 1. Landing Page for WhatsApp: for the first time, you can connect your WA Group directly to a landing page which showcases all of your offerings. It comes with a simple sign-in flow that allows you to directly enter the group while collecting the data you need. 2. WhatsApp Member Management: Worried about your group link being shared? Fear no more. Nas.io's WhatsApp member management gates your community, so you can automate all your member management needs. You can have application only groups, paid only groups, event based groups and more! Any unauthorised members are automatically removed to ensure that you don't need to keep verifying your member list. 3. WhatsApp Memberships: Nas.io brings you a seamless way to charge monthly memberships on top of your WhatsApp group, whether it be monthly, quarterly, annually or even one off. No need to send manual payment links, follow up with members, or even remove members who haven't paid. Nas.io takes care of all of this so you can focus on what you do best. 4. WhatsApp Insights: Every WhatsApp community can now customise the data they collect on their members, and visualise their member activity on the Nas.io Community portal. From member information to conversion rates, and even engagement in the group. Nas.io allows you to visualise information that was previously not available to the WA community manager. Our goal is that any creator, no matter how large or small, should be able to build a successful and sustainable community on WhatsApp. We hope you'll check it out, and get in touch if this sounds like a solution for your WhatsApp group!

Hello everyone! CEO of Nas.io here. Why did we build this? Because we think email is dying. And algorithmic social media is going too crazy. You can't build community on top of algorithm or just email. We think WhatsApp is one of the world's largest social media and community platforms. But it's very basic and underrated. We can make WhatsApp 10x better. We can make WhatsApp money-generating for Creators. We can make it less disorganized. We can make it integrate with other software. This is the promise of Nas.io for WhatsApp. Already, hundreds of communities are using Nas.io for their WhatsApp group. It gives them data ownership, monetization abilities, and above all...a one place shop to manage their community. I hope you like what we build. Happy to answer any questions or take any feedback!

So excited for this. We are the only platform in the market that support local payment methods in the region, including OVO, GCash, DANA and many more. We will also be able to support UPI very soon!

Congrats on the launch guys! This is an interesting product, excited to see how this pans out among users.

This is huge. Love this update 🙌

Nasio is really changing the way I can manage my whatsapp groups. Taking alot of the heavy lifting off my hands and allowing me to focus on the stuff that matters, interacting with the members. It also allows you to monetize your groups. Thats Awesome! If you have a moment definitively give it a go!

Wow! The ability to charge people to enter a private WhatsApp group chat is absolutely amazing. The bot that automatically removes any non-paying member also gives me a peace of mind when managing my group members. Amazing product! I can't wait to see where this goes (:

Woohoo, exciting! It was an excellent opportunity to work on this with the team and I hope this update brings more value to its users. Onward and upward! [Rocket]

This is an interesting idea. Chat groups are essential to building communities and this is a great way to foster those relationships. How would you recommend getting people into the group in the first place? We're exploring text groups as a strategy but I'm admittedly pretty ignorant when it comes to creating them. Could this help?

congrats on the launch

Thanks to Nas.io, managing my online community has become incredibly efficient and effective. The platform's comprehensive features and user-friendly interface have revolutionized the way I handle my WhatsApp chat group. One of the standout features of Nas.io is its seamless management of paid memberships. With just a few clicks, I can easily ensure that only the right people are part of my community, creating a valuable and exclusive space for my members.

This is great! I really see a place for this product across many different communities. I’m part of a few WhatsApp groups - from an expat association, a condo association, a moms group for my daughter’s class, a women’s empowering group, a book club, etc. Let’s face the facts: money needs to change hands in all of these groups at some point and it gets confusing - who paid, how much, and when did they pay? This product makes it so easy to organize getting paid and keeping track of it. Wow!

Excited to see this one here, nas.io is steadily becoming leading platform for community management. Wishing the team all the best.

Provides real value being able to easily gate, monetize and analyze your whatsapp groups while giving a ton of extra functionality really enhancing the group experience

It has been a great exp using NAS.IO. I could optimize my community onboarding process and community communication from one space. Also, team Nas.io helped a lot in personally guiding me on how to navigate the tool and making things easy and automated.

I have been using Nas.io for a while now to manage my online community and I cannot believe how easy it is to manage my followers, who are now paid members. The platform really has a lot of options to monetise through events, memberships, and selling files or courses and it's great there's finally a solution that helps me monetise my audience!

Congrats on your launch. I will try it out.

The new WhatsApp integration feature is a game-changer for WhatsApp group managers. It makes it so easy to manage paid members, send direct messages, build landing pages, and get engagement insights. I'm definitely going to be using it for my own WhatsApp groups.

My members don't have to learn a whole new platform and chat, but instead they can stay in the WhatsApp and chat where they are used to - I love this WhatsApp integration! Excited for whats to come!
